Week 2: The Name Dropper
Scripture:
Rewatch the Full Service
Missed us on Sunday or want to hear the sermon again? We explore the problem of "tribes" in the church and how Jesus steals our need to be on the "right team." Songs for the week include: "I Want to Walk as a Child of the Light," "In the Garden," "How Great is Our God," and "Glorious Day."
Watch: The Weekly Deep Dive
In this week's video, "The Fear Behind the Name," we dig into Psalm 27 to find out *why* we are so desperate to join tribes. We also discuss how dropping your "net" is the only way to find a true Stronghold.
